  • Adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from Richmond in North Yorkshire
  • Catterick Racecourse five minutes’ drive; Easby Abbey 40 minutes’ walk
  • Dog-friendly pitches; Brompton on Swale pub and shop 10 minutes’ walk
For a quiet adults-only North Yorkshire stay far removed from the hurly burly of everyday life, Millfields Caravan and Camping is a tiny site tucked away in Brompton on Swale, a historic village mentioned in the Domesday Book. Peaceful it certainly is, yet there’s masses to do and see hereabouts. The lively market town of Richmond is 10 minutes’ drive away, with its photogenic Georgian architecture, museums, a castle and lots of entertainment options from cosy inns to chic restaurants. It’s also gateway to adventures in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and any keen racing fans among you have the choice of nine major racecourses: York is an hour’s drive, Wetherby 40 minutes, and Catterick a doddle to get to, being a mere five minutes away. And back on site, the manicured pitches look out over lush countryside (great for walking any dogs you've brought along), with simple facilities including showers and washing-up areas. If you choose to conjure up alfresco feasts on the barbecue, pick up essentials in the handy local shop, or you can always head to the village pub for a pint and a pie (both 10 minutes’ walk).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, adult-only campsite with spacious, level pitches. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with many visitors praising the hot showers and the site's quiet atmosphere.

Karl A.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked The peaceful atmosphere on site. Even with every pitch booked it was well quiet.
The location, a short walk to the village shop & The Crown pub.

Disliked The toilets/showers aren't the best but satisfactory. Appreciate a new shower block is under construction.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Clear instructions to find pitch and lovely peaceful and dog friendly campsite!

Disliked One toilet and shower for the pitches on the right and side is quite difficult and could have been cleaner but the other toilet block was much better!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Our new toilet/shower block is currently under construction and should be ready for next season. :-))

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Not sure how the toilets are dark and dingy unless you didn't turn the lights on :-@ and our new shower block is currently under construction. :-)

Expected a much better site for the price, disappointing.

Local attractions

Stroll directly from your pitch to the spectacular hilltop ruins of 12th-century Easby Abbey (40 minutes’ walk), or have a ramble along the River Swale to Richmond Castle and the pebble beach at Richmond Falls (both roughly an hour). And of course, there are hikes and cycle rides for all levels of ability in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (15 minutes’ drive). Head to Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve (20 minutes) for the chance to spy birds of prey and kingfishers in the moorland, meadow and wetland habitats, or if stately houses are on your agenda, combine exploring formal gardens and a lakeside park at Jacobean-era Kiplin Hall (10 minutes) with a tour of the mansion’s richly decorated rooms. The likelihood is you’ll adore fussing over the camels, llamas and ostriches at Mainsgill Farm Shop (15 minutes), where you can also tuck into a tasty cream tea. Should the weather turn against you, book tickets for blockbuster films at The Station or tour Richmond’s restored Georgian Theatre Royal (both 10 minutes), still with its original stage and seating.
